CONNECTION TO PLACE

Cog Wild acknowledges that we operate on the traditional territories of tribes of Oregon who have lived in this region since time immemorial. The people were forcibly removed from the land during a series of treaties with the United States in the 1800s. Today, Oregon’s tribal people live in urban and rural areas and on many reservations throughout the state. In the areas we operate, the primary tribes are The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. Learn more about the tribes of Oregon or of your home region at Native Land Digital.

The trails we ride are currently stewarded by the United States Forest Service (USFS) and many non profit trail work organizations including Central Oregon Trail Alliance, Alpine Trail Crew Association, Disciples of Dirt and Greater Oakridge Trail Stewards. Cog Wild pays the USFS 3% percent of revenue earned on the forest and gives back to the land and cycling community through volunteer trail work and donations of money, goods or services to organizations that increase opportunities for all people to recreate outside.
